Next lesson, make everyone with brown eyes write lines for the entire lesson: "I will not have brown eyes."

The question begging to be asked is if this kind of attrocity happened today would these little fuckers give a monkeys. Would they go to war as our grandfathers and grandmothers did. Would they put up with the rationing and the pain and the loss and the death. Do they actually care about anything. Makes you think doesn't it.
